22. This is what the Lord God says:“See, I will lift my hand to signal the nations.I will raise my banner for all people to see.Then they will bring your sons back to you in their arms.They will carry your daughters on their shoulders.
23. Kings will teach your children.Daughters of kings will take care of those children.They will bow down before you.They will kiss the dirt at your feet.Then you will know I am the Lord.Anyone who trusts in me will not be disappointed.”
24. Can the wealth a soldier wins in war be taken away from him?Can a prisoner be freed from a powerful soldier?
25. But this is what the Lord says:“The prisoners will be taken from the strong soldiers.What the soldiers have taken will be saved.I will fight your enemies.I will save your children.
26. I will force those who trouble you to eat their own flesh.Their own blood will be the wine that makes them drunk.Then everyone will knowI, the Lord, am the One who saves you.I am the Powerful One of Jacob who saves you.”
